Trevis Origin and Meaning

The name Trevis is a boy's name.

Trevis is a masculine name that appears to be a variation of Travis, which originated as an Anglo-Norman surname derived from the French word 'traverser,' meaning 'to cross.' This alternate spelling gives the traditional name a slightly distinctive touch while maintaining the same pronunciation. Trevis saw limited popularity in the United States during the 1970s-1990s but has always been significantly less common than Travis. The name carries a strong, masculine sound with its crisp consonants. Like Travis, it evokes associations with reliability and straightforwardness. Trevis might appeal to parents who appreciate the sound and feel of Travis but desire a less common spelling variation. The name works well cross-culturally and has a contemporary yet established quality.
